IMHO, Automake is stripping the 'nobase_' prefix at places it'd
rather not.  (See also
http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/automake-patches/2001-October/000286.html)

I think the patch below should fix this behavior, but actually I
didn't tested it.  (There are no tests for the 'nobase_' feature
in the testsuite, I'll make one this evening.)

        * automake.in (am_install_var): Don't strip nobase_ from $X, do
        this with $nodir_name only.
